The week in wearable tech

We're gearing up for so many smartwatch launches at IFA next week, this week needs some love. Come on, THIS week has sales charts.

Read on for the biggest headlines in wearable tech in our weekly recap.

Fitbit is No.1, Apple Watch No.2

When it comes to wearable tech sales last quarter, that is. The numbers are in with charts galore - see who comes in at No.3 (you might be surprised) and how the industry has grown 223% in just a year. Sploosh, claps all round.

The Vive still looks set to beat Oculus but sales at the end of 2015 will be limited with more units of the cutting edge VR headset ready for early 2016. The good news is that gamers have a few chances to play the Vive this September - at IFA in Berlin and at the EGX show in Birmingham, UK.
